The Republic of Zaruisple is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by President Donatilo Méndez Maiolo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 9.002 billion Zaruispleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lireja. The average income tax rate is 31.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Zaruisplean economy, worth a remarkable 1,148 trillion gufrúas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 127,538 gufrúas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, 'Abstinence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder' is a common school motto, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, and government ministers are regularly seen in the streets confessing their sins and hammering missiles into plow-shares. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Zaruisple's national animal is the Zaruisplean homlubeest, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Zaruisple is ranked 126,285^th in the world and 2^nd in The Union of Fairer Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,346.1 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
